At the time of writing, <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/tag\/james-cameron\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">James Cameron<\/a>\u2019s fiery sci-fi threequel has amassed exactly $888 million in international territories, which is enough to make it the 20th-highest-grossing movie of all time in foreign markets. It passed <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/tag\/frozen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Frozen<\/a> ($868 million) to reach this mark, and next on its list is <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/tag\/jurassic-world-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom<\/a> ($890 million). The film has also earned $342 million domestically for a global total of $1.2 billion, with more coming in every day.<\/p>\n<p>Avatar: Fire and Ash flips the story of Pandora on its head in a way neither of the first two films in the franchise has. Both <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/tag\/avatar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Avatar<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/tag\/avatar-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Avatar: The Way of Water<\/a> feature Jake Sully (<a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/tag\/sam-worthington\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Sam Worthington<\/a>) and his wife Neytiri (<a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/tag\/zoe-saldana\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Zoe Salda\u00f1a<\/a>) recruiting over Na\u2019vi to fight against the Sky People, but Avatar 3 introduces evil Na\u2019vi in the Mangkwan clan, or the Ash people. The Mangkwan have turned their back on Eywa after they were left to fend for themselves while a horrible fire burned their village to ash. Now, they take out their aggressions on the rest of Pandora.<\/p>\n<p>Avatar: Fire and Ash reaching such a lofty box office total also all but ensures that there will be another movie in the franchise. During the days before Avatar 3 hit theaters, director James Cameron revealed that <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/avatar-fire-and-ash-could-end-franchise-box-office-money-james-cameron\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">the fourth movie had not yet been greenlit<\/a>, and it would depend on how the threequel performed at the box office. If over $1.2 billion \u2014 likely over $1.5 billion by the time it\u2019s all said and done \u2014 isn\u2019t enough, then nothing would have been.<\/p>\n<p>                        Is \u2018Avatar: Fire and Ash\u2019 on Disney+?<\/p>\n<p>Avatar: Fire and Ash is not streaming on <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/tag\/disney-2\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Disney+<\/a> and is not yet available to rent or purchase on VOD platforms such as <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/tag\/prime-video\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Prime Video<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/tag\/apple-tv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Apple TV<\/a>. It likely won\u2019t make its VOD debut until sometime in February or March, depending on how the box office results shake out, and the Disney+ streaming debut will be even further behind. It\u2019s not expected on Disney+ until sometime during the summer \u2014 The Way of Water hit Disney+ in June after its December premiere. Fire and Ash will likely follow a similar trend, maybe arriving earlier with less box office earnings.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned to Collider for more box office updates and coverage of Avatar: Fire and Ash.<\/p>\n<p>        <img width=\"480\" height=\"720\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"imgi_1_cf7he1ify4unbs25tgnatyydri2.jpeg\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768336628_731_imgi_1_cf7he1ify4unbs25tgnatyydri2.jpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768336628_731_imgi_1_cf7he1ify4unbs25tgnatyydri2.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                                            Release Date<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDecember 19, 2025<\/p>\n<p>                                            Runtime<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t197 Minutes<\/p>\n<p>                                            Director<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJames Cameron<\/p>\n<p>                                                                                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fubo.tv\/welcome\/program\/SH061619880000?irmp=1206980&amp;irad=599309\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow sponsored\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n                                                                                                                                                                                    <img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"fubotv-logo.jpg\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768336628_962_fubotv-logo.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768336628_962_fubotv-logo.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                                                        <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sigourney Weaver as Kiri in Avatar: Fire and AshImage via Disney Avatar: Fire and Ash has quietly become&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":236225,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[146,85,46,397],"class_list":{"0":"post-236224","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-il","10":"tag-israel","11":"tag-movies"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236224","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=236224"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236224\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/236225"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=236224"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=236224"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=236224"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
